Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is characterized by focal CNS inflammation leading to the death of oligodendrocytes (OLs) with subsequent demyelination, neuronal degeneration, and severe functional deficits. Inhibitory chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) are increased in the extracellular matrix in the vicinity of MS lesions and are thought to play a critical role in myelin regeneration failure. We here show that CSPGs curtail remyelination through binding with their cognate receptor, protein tyrosine phosphatase sigma (PTP sigma ) on oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs). We report that inhibition of CSPG/PTP sigma signaling by systemically deliverable Intracellular Sigma Peptide (ISP), promotes OPC migration, maturation, remyelination, and functional recovery in animal models of MS. Furthermore, we report a downstream molecular target of PTP sigma modulation in OPCs involving upregulation of the protease MMP-2 that allows OPCs to enzymatically digest their way through CSPGs. In total, we demonstrate a critical role of PTP sigma/CSPG interactions in OPC remyelination in MS.
